I think I know the solutions for this one. It is strange but ever since Handcent did an update (and I believe it was a few updates ago) if you did not type some sort of a message in with your picture, it would not send. The same for receiving pictures. They will not download unless the sender puts some sort of a message in with the picture.

The reason I know that this works is I was having the same problem and thought it was ROM related. Someone told me to try this and viola it works like a charm.

MMS can be blocked through verizon's data filters and controlled through customer service as well as the service blocks (aka, "Block Picture and Video Messaging"). A call to customer service will help you solve this quickly or rule that out.
